FAQ

Architectural drafting is primarily about developing the technical drawings needed for a new build in order to get a building permit. You will need someone who has the training to create construction documents to ensure all specifications are met.

Each state and local jurisdiction individually regulate the requirements needed to obtain a building permit. There are a handful of conditions, that when met, will exempt a project from requiring stamped drawing from an architect. For instance, houses no more than 2 stories usually do not require an architectural stamp.

An architect is not required for a residential project. However, if your plan is for a major project, such as adding an addition, adding a second floor, or building an entirely new home, an architect can be your best friend.

• Depends on the level of services your project requires. Usually, it starts out with a brief project overview from you (email, call, or video chat) on your project. During this initial inquiry we will review what type of service is best suited per your project type and timeline. 

• Following the consultation, project programming begins which entails gathering what is needed as far as permits, contacting your contractor (if you already have one) and other consultants, putting a timeline together, narrowing down your wants/needs/requirements and style. 

• If your project requires it, we will also set up a time for a site visit. Once the site visit/new project onboarding is complete and the contract is signed, the design fun begins! We will give you an overview of the process during the consultation and throughout the project. We value transparency.
